Hi Win 8 folks,
I very regularly use the search function in Windows-looking for specific mp3s in a very large music library. The search "look ahead" function automatically kicks in (too quickly) after typing a few characters, causing a mis-spelling of the search name criteria and defeating its own purpose. When I try to type faster, I make mistakes that screw up the search anyway. It can take 3 or 4 attempts to properly complete the search criteria. This is a most irritating problem............The Google equivalent is a similar pain, but at least it has a high rate of success in guessing what you really want in the search.
Can anyone advise how to slow down the 'lookahead' feature in the search or if not, how to turn it off? I don't know what the correct name of the function is so can't do a 'google' for instructions to disable it.
Yours all in anticipation...
